Busy Hands and Hearts for Our Community in October, 2024

We gathered to make Christmas ornaments to hand out at nursing homes and to friends in our community. We made 72 ornaments!   We pray that the ornaments will touch their hearts and remind them of the Christmas message from God.  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”.
